Have you ever tried to punch cheat codes into a video game hoping to unlock unlimited weapons or firepower? Well, the Corps’ new futuristic sea drone may do just that.

Marine officials told industry leaders June 6 that the sea drone, called the MUX, will not need to carry as many weapon systems or missiles because the drone will have the ability to cue the weapon systems of other ships and aircraft in the area.
